I am more surprised that it dosen't take 6 to 7 to get in!
maybe next year you 2 graders will get in with no problem
Not long ago it did take 5 grading points to get in and even then you had to be at your computer when the clock struck noon(For Me at least) and before that you had to mail in your entry and wait for the letter back. Lately though since the economy took a dip not as many racers can take the 10 days off needed to go to Indy, and Honestly Indy isn't what it used to be.

It's not the two grading point, which for many of use represents a couple thousand dollars in fuel, entry, food, lost wages etc. It's that NHRA reduced the number of Entries to allow TD and TS. Last year it was the Mountain motor Pro Stocks.Face it the first ones to get pissed on Is Stock, Super Stock, SC and SG. which I would argue are NHRA's most Loyal racers. But we don't have Superchargers or Nitro and we don't make big noises.
